Sooooo, what have I missed then?

Pollyana

Not a lot......I'm still suffering 9-5 work hours, Berbie has broken his computer, and Mrs Sailor is busy getting carpets fitted and moving furniture while Sailor lurks at a distance till the hard work is finished

scottishcelts

Same old same old then?

When are 'The Sailor's' making an aussie appearance?

Pollyana

Early next year i believe, not sure if they will get up to Brisbane though.....

scottishcelts

Still great news though, I shall be keeping my fingers crossed for them.

They are rather quiet right now though.

Pollyana

I know there was a lot of furniture moving and house viewing going on, could just be they are recovering from Bernie's visit though.....i understand he emptied the fridge and made himself at home sampling the delights of Nottingham

Hello Visiting Aus in Feb. May not have time to get up to Brissy (how long is the drive from Sydney?) But hope to make the move later next year

Pollyana

Can't see it being feasible to detour to Brisbane while en route from Sydney to Adelaide unfortunately.......but once you're here permanently it might be a bit easier

scottishcelts

12 hour drive to Brissie from Sydney.

Mad innit. We were considering doing the drive round about the krimbo hols, but decided against once we found out how long it takes. I'd do half that, so on the look out for a holiday destination for December.

Good luck with your travels. We never bothered with the visit beforehand, just jumped on a plane and off we went. The very thought is terrifying now to me, and not sure if I could do it all that way again. That said, we've done it once now and there's not many places further from Scotland to Oz, so I guess it will be a tad easier next time round.

no choice but to visit as need to validate

bloody DIAC granting visas quicker than their guidelines

No pleasing people is there, most of the sub-continent is screaming about the opposite
